If I lose the antenna, it naturally opens up very wide, yet still narrows up fairly well on a flame thrower station. The sensitivity of this sets keeps the noise floor high, hence showing less movement. I would like to get it a little bit narrower. I've thought about re-energizing the permanent magnet as stated on Chuck's site.
